The spongy bite of this cake, with delicate tuti fruiti pieces, makes it a hard to resist treat!

Tuti fruitis, meaning, ‘all fruits’ in Italian, are usually chopped candid fruits. Their rich red and green colours and subtle fruity flavours contribute to a very tempting look on ice creams, jellies or cakes.

The best news about this cake is that it is steamed in the rice cooker, not baked in the oven like conventional cakes, which collectively account for its irresistible, spongy texture. You can use the usual steamer too, but if you have a rice cooker, the process is so much easier, as you just have to close the lid and set the “COOK” button on. In less than 30 mins, your juicy cake will be ready to devour!

Now, you do not have to worry if your oven is malfunctioning or if you do not have one, as in the case of certain parts of the world. In tropical countries, for instance, many people do not want to use the oven, as it doubles up the heat in the house making it really hot and stuffy.

This recipe is just the one for them! Without an oven, now they too can enjoy a beautiful, home-made cake!
